Chapter 3336: AttackedEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

More than two hours later.

Vortices appeared in the sky, shrouded by dark clouds.

Beams of holy light descended, dispersing the Black Fog and entering the Netherworld.

The six-member squad entered the Netherworld wasteland, immediately summoning soul warrior spirits to guard their surroundings, cautiously observing the area.

The premonition alert came from a B-level temple.

Instructor Wallace did not dare take it lightly and sent disciples to investigate.

Seth, the squad captain, confirmed the situation around the temple’s periphery and glanced at the stone tablet inside the temple.

It appeared the seal had merely corroded over time due to exposure to the Netherworld aura.

No major problem.

The most troublesome issue was the death knight squad gathered outside the temple.

There weren’t many of them, but their strength was formidable.

"Be careful. We’ll go around them. With our holy armor, as long as we maintain some distance, they won’t act hostile toward us."

Seth, the squad captain, mustered his courage and reminded everyone, then began cautiously approaching the temple, "Follow me. Don’t be afraid. Even if we accidentally awaken the death knights, our strength should keep us safe."

Indeed, as Seth had said, under the protection of the outer holy armor, the death knights remained quiet, seemingly unaware of them.

However, just as Seth was about to bypass the death knight squad and step into the temple, the warhorses beneath the death knights were suddenly startled.

"Roar!!!"

All five death knights simultaneously unleashed their aura of death and activated their charge skills, launching an attack toward the group.

"Watch out! Take them down!"

Seth’s pupils constricted as he shouted, controlling his subordinate Tier 5 soul warrior spirits to intercept the death knight squad.

"Boom! Boom boom!!!"

The charging death knights collided with the soul warrior spirits, sending them flying.

"Hold the formation! Don’t scatter!"

Seth shouted, signaling the squad to maneuver together while drawing his holy longsword to counterattack.

Huh?

What?

Seth’s pupils suddenly constricted as he noticed a dark blade appearing behind one of the soul warrior spirits that had been blown away.

Chi!

A shadow streaked across the air, leaving the mark of an inverted cross.

"Boom!!!"

The holy armor surrounding the soul warrior spirit instantly shattered!

What!

Seth’s pupils constricted as he stared at the small figure that had vanished back into the shadows.

It was an Underworld Hunter!

A notoriously difficult opponent in the Netherworld, the Hunter possessed a special ability to hide in darkness and often struck unexpectedly, delivering lethal blows.

D*mn it!

This was just a B-level temple.

Who could have anticipated that, besides the death knight squad, there were Underworld assassins outside?

Even more shockingly, as the holy armor of the soul warrior spirits shattered, their blue heroic spirit main bodies underneath trembled violently before instantly exploding.

What?

Not only Seth, but the rest of the squad also showed fear on their faces.

Underworld Hunters were extremely difficult in the Netherworld. Their ambush attacks were powerful, but not to this extent!

Could they instantly kill Tier 5 soul warrior spirits in a single strike?

Seth felt as if his heart was bleeding.

Those were Tier 5 heroic spirits!

He had put tremendous effort into obtaining them!

"Retreat!"

Seth shouted, decisively abandoning the mission, and led his squad to withdraw.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!

In the next moment, figures of Underworld Hunters emerged from the shadows, repeatedly appearing behind the soul warrior spirits.

Streaks of inverted cross-dark light flashed. Under the Hunter’s terrifying, explosive attacks, the soul warrior spirits had no chance to resist—one by one, they were instantly destroyed!

The death knights seized the opportunity to activate their charge skills and pursue the fleeing soul warrior spirits.

Hearing the repeated sounds of the soul warrior spirits being shattered behind him, Seth felt a chill run up his spine and rushed back to the reverse teleportation area.

"Forget them! Go!"

Leaving over ten Tier 5 soul warrior spirits as meat shields to block the pursuing Netherworld creatures, Seth panicked completely and led his squad members back to the Outer World.

Zane watched the entire scene from afar and quietly asked, "Brother Fang Heng, really? Just letting them go that easily?"

"No problem. Fishing requires leaving some bait."

During this time, Fang Heng had also been researching the Holy Eagle City’s situation.

Generally, the church’s organizational structure was relatively simple. The world church oversaw four regional churches, each of which governed city churches.

Each city had a main city church, which in turn had branch churches under it.

For example, their Church No. 177 was one of them.

Usually, high-ranking church officials occasionally conducted inspections.

But the Netherworld was too vast, and the probability of reaching the far-end branch churches was very low.

Moreover, as long as he controlled the Netherworld situation from spreading too far, the city church would not want to send people to check.

Unless a large number of oracles died, the chance of inspections being sent from above was extremely low.

"Wanna make a bet, Zane?"

"What?"

"They’ll send people again."

...

Church No. 182.

Seth and the others, having barely survived in the Netherworld, reverse-teleported into a magic array, gasping heavily, their faces pale.

Recalling what had just happened, they felt nothing but relief.

Fortunately, the Netherworld creatures had targeted the soul warrior spirits first; otherwise, they might not have survived even a single Underworld Hunter attack.

"Let’s go."

Seth stood up, supporting himself on the ground, "The Netherworld situation has changed. We need to report to the instructor immediately."

Instructor Caleb, upon learning the situation, did not dare take it lightly.

An Underworld assassin capable of killing a Tier 5 heroic spirit in a single strike?

This attack strength had already surpassed the elite-level Netherworld creatures.

The B-level temple’s damage alarm had been ringing, and if not addressed, it would lower his church’s rating.

In the past, situations like this either required branch churches to handle it personally or to spend a large number of points hiring Oracles to resolve the issue.

Unless it reached the last step, no one would choose to report to the superior church.

Doing so would make the higher-ups think poorly of you, potentially affecting both the church’s rating and personal promotion prospects.

Spending points to hire mercenaries!

Instructor Caleb did not dare risk personal involvement and chose to issue an urgent mission using points.

Considering the danger level of this B-level temple and the presence of death knights and Underworld Hunters, two million points should be enough to recruit a competent team.

Two million points—that was almost half a month’s church income for him.

Instructor Caleb issued the mission, his heart bleeding.
